Conspiracy nuts have the NWO to explain everything, the converatives blame…pretty much everyone that isn’t middle/upper class and white.

We apparently live in constant threat of terrorists. Airport security is just silly these days. New laws are passed to “protect” our freedoms. We even invade random countries to “protect” ourselves.

except…the thing is….with the exception of 9/11 and 7/7, theres been bugger all terrorist acts in the last 5 years. By no means do I think 9/11, 7/7 and madrid etc. should be forgotten, but if a group was really determined to cause terror, they could do worse things and more often easier than we could possibly imagine…

The IRA showed how much havock a terrorist organisation can cause and that was before the days of the internet and ebay and a group that at least vaguely tried to go for legitimate targets (they killed a lot of innocent people too, but the current “threat” is solely aiming at civilians).

Iraq is utter meyhem at the moment with car bombs a daily occurence and yet…Britain and the US rarely see anything.

bombs can be made from household materials using GCSE chemistry in an afternoon, and yet…they don’t.

one person could easily leave dozens of home made bombs around london in a day and yet…they don’t.

the exeter, glasgow and liquid bombers have all been so completely and utterly incompetent that they were unable to even use google to check if their chosen methods were even remotely sensible…

for bonus points: Whats with all the fuss over blowing up aeroplanes? Theres so many things to blow up in this world, many of them easier and more effective to creating terror than planes and yet airport security barely stops short of anal probing, but you can wander into a shopping centre or a nightclub unchecked…
